THEORETICAL BACKGROUND
CONSUMER BEHAVIOR - A THEORETICAL INPUT
"The most important thing is to forecast where customers are moving and
to be in front of them." - Kotler
The aim of marketing is to meet and satisfy target customers needs &
Wants. The field of Consumer Behavioral studies how individuals, grows, and
organizations. Select, buy, use & dispose of goods, services, ideas or experiences to satisfy their needs & desires.
Understanding consumer behavior and "knowing customers" is never
simple .Customers may say one thing but do another. They may not be in touch
with their deeper motivations. They may respond to influences that change their
minds at the last minute.
Consumer behavior is a process and purchase is only one stage in the
process. There are many underlying influences ranging from internal motivations and attitudes to social influences of various kinds. Yet, motivation and
attitude can be understood through research. Perfect predication is never possible, but properly designed and used research efforts can significantly lower the
risk of marketing failure.

INVESTING
An investment operation is one which, upon thorough analysis promises safety
of principal and an adequate return. Operations not meeting these requirements
are Speculative
Types of Investment.
A) Fixed Return Options
B) Variable Return Options
C) Conventional returns options
A.) Fixed Return Options
income to investors. It is meant for investors who want to invest a sum amount
initially and earn interest on a monthly basis for their livelihood. The MIS is
not suitable for an increase in your investment. It is meant to provide a source of
regular income on a long term basis. The scheme is, therefore, more beneficial
for retired persons.
ii) Other Post Office Schemes
a) National Saving Certificate (NSC):
National Savings Certificates (NSC) are certificates issued by Department
of post, Government of India and are available at all post office counters
in the country. It is a long term safe savings option for the investor. The
scheme combines growth in money with reductions in tax liability as per
the provisions of the Income Tax Act, 1961. The duration of a NSC
scheme is 6 years. NSCs are issued in denominations of Rs 100, Rs 500,
Rs 1,000, Rs 5,000 and Rs 10,000 for a maturity period of 6 years. There
is no prescribed upper limit on investment. Rs. 1000 becomes Rs. 1601
after 6 years at a compounded yield of 8.16% with tax benefits under
section 80L and 88. No premature withdrawal is allowed. Interest accrued
annually is also reinvested in this scheme and also qualifies for up to
15/20 % rebate under section 88. There is no tax deduction at source.
b) Kisan Vikas Patra
23
Kisan Vikas Patras is a safe and long term investment option backed by
the Government of India which provides interest income similar to
bonds. The title of the scheme makes some misconception that it is only
meant for farmers. But anyone can go for Kisan Vikas Patra. KVP is
beneficial for those looking for a safe avenue of investment without the
pressing need for a regular source of income. Money doubles at the end
of specified period. Money can be doubled in 8 years and 7 months.
There is no upper limit that you can invest. There are no tax benefits for
investments made under this scheme. The rate of interest works out to be
8.41% (2009). Loans are available against Kisan Vikas Patra. Interest is
paid on maturity and cannot be claimed prior to maturity. This can be
purchased jointly by two adults. In the case of loss or stolen Certificate,
the purchaser should report the post office at the earliest. An
application should submit in post office containing the certificate number,
amount, date of purchase /maturity etc. and declare the circumstances
resulting the loss of certificate. In such cases the identity slip comes
useful to get a duplicate certificate. After the verification, the post office
will issue a duplicate certificate. If needed, the purchaser will have to
submit indemnity bond/declaration/Bank verification.
24
installments. After 15 years the investor can renew this account for a 5
year period. Interest is totally exempt from income tax. The amount
deposited qualifies for tax rebate under section 88.
iv) Bank Fixed Deposits
Bank fixed deposits yields will vary from bank to bank but are more or
less streamlined. The yields are currently ranging from 4.5 % to 5.5 % per
annum for deposits ranging from 30 days to 3 years. All scheduled banks
are covered under DICGC (deposit insurance and credit Guarantee
Corporation) which mean that up to Rs 1lakh deposited in a bank every
person is absolutely safe and insured even if the bank collapses. Interest
qualifies for deduction from income tax.
v) Government Securities or Gilts
Government securities or gilts are totally secure. Government bonds are
issued by government of India periodically. These are now available in
the secondary market through satellite dealers and banks. They are known
to yield 5 to 6% per annum. Interest exceeding Rs 2500 is liable for TDS
at 10.455%.
vi) RBI Taxable Bonds
26
These are 8% bonds which are taxable. The maturity period is after 6
years and there is no upper limit to investment in these bonds. The
interest accrued on these bonds is taxable under income tax act.
vii) Insurance
There are several types of insurance policies available in the market today
through various players. Life Insurance Corporation (LIC) till recently
held monopoly in this market. Life insurance is the most sought option as
it also offers tax benefits for premier paid. Though insurance is
expenditure, it is now an investment option.
viii) Company Fixed Deposits
Company fixed deposits was a highly popular investment vehicle in the
past. In todays changing scenario where the corporate world has access
to cheaper funds from sources all over the world, the rates of interest
offered by good companies make this a less attractive investment vehicle.
If company fixed deposits are unsecured deposits and if a accompany
goes insolvent; there is very little possibility of investor recovering his
investments.
provide the benefit of having someone else manage your investments and
diversifying your money that may not be available or affordable to you
otherwise. A mutual fund, by its very nature, is diversified -- its assets are
invested in many different securities.
The Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) and the National Stock Exchange of
India Ltd (NSE) are the two primary exchanges in India. In addition,
there are 22 Regional Stock Exchanges. However, the BSE and NSE have
established themselves as the two leading exchanges and account for
about 80 per cent of the equity volume traded in India. The primary
index of BSE is BSE Sensex comprising 30 stocks. NSE has (Nifty)
which consists of fifty stocks. The BSE Sensex is the oldest and more
widely followed index.
Now these days even common people is being aware about the share
market in respect of 4-5 years ago . before 4-5 years ago only affluent
and highly educated people were aware about share market and they used
to invest in companies stock. But the time is changing very rapidly .the
people is being educated about the share market by broking firms , stock
exchange , government, news papers, news channels and by introducing
various new course in schools and colleges . Now common people have
started investing in companies stocks by opening up DMAT account in
various broking firms .
In this type of investment there is no certainty of return on investment
one may lose his money or can gain unexpected amount of return .
In stock market people get two type of return
1. Dividend paid by the company
29
C) Conventional options
1. Property
Investment in real estate or property is a good long-term investment for
well heeled investors with a large amount of money. People used to
purchase property and when they realize that they are getting maximum
return on their investment sale it off and book the profit. In this type of
investment there is no fix rate of return its depend on the peoples
foresight.
also a aesthetic appeal which attracts the people and they consider it as a
value for money.
Buying the gold and silver people feel secure because these are the scarcest and
they can cash it any time at higher price than their original buying price.

FINDINGS
51
1) From the survey it was found that most of them are aware about Sharekhan
as a Financial Service Provider.
2) Among all the services, most of the people were aware about Tax Plannings
and least awareness was for PPM and Stock Broking, so efforts should be taken
accordingly.
3)As far as the brand awareness is considered the Karvy tops the list so, the
companies have to put the extra effort on its awareness, and also the company
has to take maximum efforts on building its marketing strategy.
4) According to the respondents the quality of the service is very important. So
the company should project itself as a brand in the market that gives end user
the best quality of service with handy operations.
5) Most of the respondents have their own personal, consultant or company
consultants. Sharekhan have to differentiate their services from other consultant
effectively by delivering value added services to its customers.
6) Organizations have to concentrate on direct marketing activities. The
consultancy should develop its long-term relationship with the customers.
7) The consultancy must give much more emphasis on creation of customer
who make repurchase.
52
53
RECOMMENDATIONS
On the basis of the conclusion, there are few points on which Consultancy
should make improvements.
1) It is important for a consultancy to create awareness about its financial
services more effectively.
2) The customers are expecting frequent and timely correspondence from the
consultancy regarding their funds and the monthly market overview. Therefore
the organization needs to give more weight age on this concern.
3) The company should increase the level of interaction between the customer
and the Consultancy.
4) The organization should focus on developing long-term relationship with the
customers.
5) According to the respondents the quality of the service is very important. So
the company should project itself as a brand in the market that gives end user
the best quality of service with handy operations.
6) Sharekhan should focus on their service segment as customers are highly
dissatisfied with after sales service.
7) Sharekhan should have CRM (Customer Relationship Management) which
will have a greater impact of the company in the minds of the people.
54
interact so its very important the consultancy should have a highly efficient
relationship manager so that the customers query get answered & he or she is
highly satisfied & feel good about the company.
10) Seminars should be held for providing information to prospective and
present customers so that they feel secure in investing their money in different
financial products.
For e.g.: If a customer has information on derivatives he may invest in
derivatives but then he should also be informed that the derivatives are highly
risky segments.
11) Sales people of the consultancy should go for training schedules
periodically so that they should be aware of different financial products which
the consultancy is offering and its USP (Unique Selling Proposition).
CONCLUSIONS
As most of the executives who were taken as our sample unit were from middle
class or upper middle class, they have a decent amount of saving. So they are
55
willing to invest in different options only if they are aware about the product
they are getting into.
So it is important for the company, to create awareness about its
financial services more effectively. It is also necessary for the company to
become customer friendly, to solve their query and to provide information as
and when required.
LIMITATIONS
1) The survey and research has been done only in Asansol & Durgapur,
therefore the results show the market position of Asansol & Durgapur
only, so results cannot be considered as representatives of whole India.
